What percentage of doctors use electocautery dissection and blunt dissection for breast implants? How much is the pain reduced using electrocautery dissection?

Answer: Another vote for cautery rather than blunt dissection for breast augmentation Blunt dissection, by definition, involves ripping the tissues apart blindly while cautery dissection is done under direct vision with precision. Since it also controls bleeding there is less bruising. All of this means faster recovery with less discomfort, though I remain skeptical about the "24 hour return to normal activities" that some claim.

Answer: Dissection techniques
The most important thing about the dissection is to remain as bloodless as possible with whichever technique you use. I think electrocautery works best.
